Circle In The Dirt Lyrics - Singles - The Unseen Guest

Beneath the Sun and the burning sky 

The higher you go the further you'll fly 

Turning away with your private smile 

Seemed you could see for a thousand miles 

And while the World falls down around you 

You shroud yourself in clouds of smoke 

You drink a toast to those beside you 

But your amity is like a private joke 

Chorus: 

You mark a circle in the dirt 

Like you were tied to a tree 

The same movie plays over again 

With different actors in the scene 

You thought you'd made a break 

From the things that weigh you down 

But if you dam a river 

The water finds a way around. 

Now you've got your own gravity 

Your orbit fills up the room 

We join you in your vanity 

And sing with you out of tune 

Chorus
